Even though everybody on the planet is just a text away, getting your message across has never been more complicated. subText is a hilarious series of vignettes detailing the awkwardness of dating in the digital age, from capturing the perfect selfie to making a relationship Facebook official. At its heart, subText is a reminder that "love is a lot of things, but it is rarely a thing of convenience."

REVIEW(S)

"It's a play to rethink and/or re-experience what it means to be a young person full of drama, lust, angst, love, and wishes for a future where who you are becomes the new normal." —Dr. Darolyn "Lyn" Jones, Editor, Rethinking Children's Literature
